THE MINING DISASTER.
Its Cause and Where the Blstme Bests.
•
• HAZLETON, Pa., Dec. 20, lB69.—The com
pany under the directorship of Messrs. Lin
dermann and Carr, employed a gang of men,
twenty-five strong, to enter the cave, early on
Saturday afternoon, to commence the digging
for the buried victims. This gang of men was
relieved after a few hours of labor, and so the
work continued day and night. Heavy pillars
of woodwork were constructed and well
supported, so as to secure the laborers
and enable them to continue their work.
On Sunday. late in the evening, the bodies of
Mrs. Schwenck, her daughter and the baby,
were found lying together and badly bruised;
the right leg of the daughter Rosie was almost
entirely severed from the body; they were
found with their clothes on—clean shirts, and
even the hoops were fonnd unbroken on them.
'The bodies were hauled over a temporary
railroad of wood, erected from the top to the
bottom, and on arrival on the surface of
mother earth were placed-in _wooden. _boxes
prepared fer this purpose and deposited in
house No. 2. Mother and baby rest in one box
and the daughter in another.
The men also found a pocketbook contain
ing fifty dollars, belonging to Mr. Witheraw,
and a watch belonging in Mr. Lanahan—both
persons who lived in - house No. 4 and were
saved. 1,7 p to the, time of writing no other
persons had been found.
TILE -Duel. •
This Bart of the mine has not beeh worked•
the lasi fifteen years, and has been entirely
abandoned, the approaches being considered
dangerotis. Under the houses Nos. 5 and 6 a
pillar was allowed to remain, and was sup
posed strong enough to support the ITIMS of
earth above. But the caving-in of a part of
the ground als thepillar ' weakened the
same so much that the balance soon fol
lowed ; thus the accident.
No person as vet has been heard to charge
the present proprietors, Messrs. Li ndermann
,& Carr, with guy neglect or fault,as their new,
mine is laying 300 feet deeper, and is well sup;.
ported.: and mined with they hest skill and
care. There was greattlanger up to this morn::
ing that the coal vein would cttsch tire, but all
trouble is passed, as some minors have en
tered the &anther and found it all right.
A :NEW FALL.
Just above the cave of Saturday the' ground
gave war yesterday and a new cave or hole
ix formed. This has scared the inhabitants of
the neighboring hou.ses so much that they bare
abandoned their residences. Even the store
goods are now removed. The company takes
great precaution that no new disaster may
happen. • The chief of the firm,
air. Lindemann, is watching the worn
day and night, and has offered all
necessary assistance. The blame , for the
disaster will no doubt be to lay, on the
former owners, who neglected to make the
proper drab before they abandoned this part
of the mine. It appears to me that ignorance
of the proper location of this old breast pre
vented the taking of proper precaution.
As yet the mass of visitors has not stopped
to pour into Stockton. Great gloom prevails,
although there is no grumbling to be heard ;
only exclamations of pity and awe.—lleAdd.
Death of Mtn. Emmanuel C. Reigart.
Hon. Emanuel C. Reigart, one of the most
prominent and respected citizens of Lancas
ter died at his residence, corner of Orange
and Lime streets, at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning, of apoplexy of the heart, in about
the 74th year of his age. Thedeceased•was in
his usual health until within a few hours of
his death. A resident of Lancaster during
his entire life, his death severs another
link in the chain that bound the present
with the past. Ile was universally esteemed,
and, although he has departed from
earth in a green old age, his death will
be regretted by all who- knew him. As
a private citizen he was beyond reproach „-
and the many public positions which he held
during his life he fulfilled with fidelity and
honor. Mr. Reigart was admitted to the bar
.in 1'822, having previously read law with
Hon. A. Ellmaker. In 1834-5 he was elected
to the Legislature frord this county, on what
was then known as the Anti-Masonic ticket.
In 1837-8 he was a member of the State Con
stitutional Convention, and took a prominent
part in the debates, generally co-operating
with the late Thaddeus Stevens—also a mem
ber of the Convention —on important ques
tions. Hon. Henry G. Long, also a member
of the Convention, is the only survivor from
this county. Mr. Reigart, during the greater
part of his life,' especially in his younger days,
took an active part in politics, throwing his
influence with the Anti-Masonic, the Whig,
Anierican - and Republican parties. In 1847 he
was the native American candidate for
Governor against Shunk, Democrat. and Ir
win. Whig, and received 11,000 votes in the
State. Shunk was elected. At the breaking
out of the war of 1812 he enlisted in Captain
Edward Shippen's cavalry comitany, and
marched to Baltimore, but too late to take
part in the defense. In the same company
were the late ex-President Buchanan, Judge
Rogers, Dr. F. A. Muhlenberg, and, in fact,
the elite of Lancaster. In 1851 he was ap
pointed Commissioner to the World's Fair at
London, by President Fillmore, and, having
fulfilled the duties of his appointment, made a
tour of Europe. At an out-door Taylor meet
ing in this city in 1848, Mr. Reigart nominated
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens for Congress. This
was the first public - nomination Mr. Stevens
had ever received for that position. Ever
since the advent of Mr. Stevens to Lancaster,
in_.1842, Mr. It. had been his devoted personal
friend, although they sometimes differed on
questions of political yolicy. A few years
ago be was appoiefed U. S. Commissioner
for this district by J udge Cadwalader, and
held that position at the time of his death. Mr.
Reigart was married four times, his Last con
sort having died but a fewweeks since. Seven
children survive him, six of whom are resid
ing in Wisconsin, and one in this city. He
was a gentleman of wealth and culture, and
always lent his aid and means in promotingthe
welfare of charitable and other institutions. A
few years since he founded the Athenaeum
Library of this city, donating $2,500 towards
the object. About the same time he also con
tributed $l,OOO to the poor of this city, which,
we believe, has since been incorporated with
the Buchanan relief fund.—Lancastei . Express,

DEATH OF JUDGE 1131 W ANT, OF Kroll-
lie its Ifilied by Fallings; from the Third.
Story of a Hotel.
From the Loufsville Couiler-Journal. Dee. 17.1
The city was shocked yesterday by the an
nouncement of the sudden and terrible death'
of Judge Edwin Bryant. Judge Bryant lived'
in 'Pewee Valley, but, suffering from had
health, came to the city three weeka ago, and
placed himself under the treatment of his
pbyeieian. Fie was staying at the Willard
Hotel, and occupied room No. 21 in the third,
story. Yesterday morning, about half-past
six o'clock, while his servant was absent
from the room, and while, it is supposed,
be was laboring under a fit of temporary in
sanity, he got out of his bed, and, opening the
window, jumped out, falling to . the pavement
below, In the back yard, a distance of fifty of
sixty feet. He was severely bruised internally
by the fall, and lived not more, than half an
hour afterward. Judge Bryant was sixty-two
years of age. He was at oue time editor of the
Inkiiigencer, a prominent whig paper at Lex
ington. KY.,•and in 184 J became associated
with .lvtr. - Haldeman in the' editorial manage
ment of the Louisville Courier, which position
he relinquished, however, at the expiration of
a year, when he undertook a trip
across tlie Plains to California, in company
with Colonel R. T. Jacob, Mr. Robert
Ewing, Mr. E. A. Bryson, and one
or two other gentlemen. ()n his way across
the Plains, the war with Mexico' broke out,
arid. after his arrival at San Ftancisco he was
made an Alcalde by General Kearney. Judi
ciously investing his fundB in property in that
.city, it became very valuable, and gave hint
ample means during the remainder of his lite
to cultivate his literary tastes and devote him
self to the hospitality for which he was noted,
and which he dispensed so gracefully and libe
rally. Returning from California, be wrote
aed published "What I Saw in California," a
labok which had a great run and a large popu
larity. He purchased a residence in Pewee
Valley about the year 1858. where he has ever
since resided, witlithe exception of intervals
spent in the city. _ _
THE STREET GLEANING CON - rnAcrs.—The
Board of Health held a meeting this after
noon, Dr. Eliab Ward, President in the chair.
Mr. Davis, of the Committee on Street
Cleaning, presented the following report:
Gentlemen—The Street Cleaning Committee
to whom was referred the bids for ; cleaning
the streets fOr the years 1870 and 1871, desire
to make the following report,with resolutions
attached :
The, large number of bidders for the'several
districts amount in the aggregate to 264—bids
- varying in many instances for the same dis
trict at least 100 per cent., as Will be observed
if you take the maximum and minimum bids
for all the . district, shows the highest bids ,
amount to $249;998, and the lowest to $126,-
2n, a difference of $123,783, clearly demon
strating that some of these bids could not have
been well considered; andwe have not,there
fore, recommended in all eases the lowest bid-
ders as the best bidders, but have endeavored
to select men who have the ability,and whose
bids are such as it is confidently believed will
be fulfilled. The Board have seen, during the
last eight months, how difficult it is to get
those contractors to do their duty whose bids
were made 'below the cost of doing the work.
The Committee recommended the following
resolutions :
Resolved, That contracts be awarded to the
following bidders for the period of two years
from the Ist day of January, 1870, payable
monthly.

DEFACING HOTS - EFL—One of tue most annoy- .
in g of the various pranks which juveniles in
dulge in is the practice of defacing houses
and fences by chalk or charcoal marks. Boys
sett to think it nice fun to write their initials
or draw figures on walls or, corner fences, and
they generally pick out the finest places. It
is sometimes very difficult to remove these
marks, and citizens are thereby put to great
trouble and inconvenience. This style of
sport appears to be carried to a fuller extent
now than has ever been known before, and if
the police would pay a little attention to tile
matter and capture some of the youths engaged
in it, it would have a beneficial effextiu putting
a stop to a great nuisance.
ATTEMPTED Benur.Ar.v.—This morning,
about half-past one o'clock, Samuel Grace was
arrested by Policeman McCaffrey, in front of
the confectionery store of Wm. Warnock, on
Carpenter street, below Eighteenth. He was
on his knees close to the door, and, as there
were several marks on the door, it is supposed
that he was attempting to open it. A coat,
supposed to have been stolen, was found by his
side. Grace was taken before Ald. Dallas,
and. was held for a further hearing. He has
beeuin the custody of the police before.

of Joseph Nagle andj,ames Taylor, whose
deaths resulted from the explosion of the

noon; (no no. know Nagle personally; have extunined
the engine Annapolis; the engine was purchased in lemit;
she wee built by Hayward A; Bartlett, of Indtimon); she

Itkimmond on that account; I considered her a tirst-class
engine; we have a very perfect system of inspection,

the fire
box andboller were in good condition ; in examining
the wreck yesterday I could discover nothing to trace
the cause of the explosion ; I could seeby the' general
destruction that no part of the iron Was weaker than
another part; I attribute the ,explosion to excessive
presaure more rules ef the company provide

a party who tried to explode a boiler inlimst way. We
let the water down to the point considered dangerous .
and suddenly injechei cold water into the boiler. We
couldn't explode fr, and only succeeded in getting the
holler to leak very badly. The average life of am engine
of that character should be fifteen years; this engine
has only been in use five veers. We have never enter•
rained an idea of condemning time, boiler. I have al

itereard Sharkey recalled—The engine was blowing

in me about not conithering the boiler in good emelt-
Mr- Jeffries recalled—l hadnnore confidence in thin
engine Shan iu any other; she would do all her work
with less than 120 pounds ; never heard 'Nagle say any -
thing nbont her being dangerous ; If he had said any
thing about it, 1 would have ordered the engine into the
shop.
This closed the evidence.
Tim verdict of the jury was:
" That Joseph Nagle and James K. Taylor mime to
their death from injuries received by the explosion of
the locornotie Anunpolis,belouging to the Readingßall
road Company, on the Reading Railroad', below Trenton
avenue. on the morning of 'Dec. 20th, 1869. After a
thorough investigation as to the cause of the explosion,
the jury are unable to determine it with any degree of
certainty."
BROKE HIS LEG.—About ten o'clock this
morning two men ~ ,o f into a fight on
Water street, below Walnut. During a tussle
'Which ensued:one of the pugilistic individuals
fell to the sidewalk and 'had a: leg broken.
The injured man is named Daniel Burk, Ho

fire iccurred to-day at the resi
dence of D. S. Bunnell, No. 1924 Mervine

the second story were burned. The building
belonged to Price a; Miller, and is damaged
to the extent of 53200. Fully insured.
HOUSE ROTIBEICV.—The residence of Thos.

nango street, was entered last night, and was
robbed of some Clothing and F. 43 in money. A
coat and ,"..:4S belonging to a boarder were also

Fiiu.—This fri - Ornilaf;titit ten o'clock, a
fire occurred at the house of George Glent
worth, 10: 12(1 North Tenth street. Tho
flamcs originated from the stove, and were
speedily extinguished.' The loss sustained
will amount to about 31.'`,0.
LARCENY OF A COAT.—GeOrge Davis WOM

charge of the larceny of a coat, the property
of-W. T. Brown, No. 0;15 Walnut street. He

HOL 'DAY BOOKS.-31essrs. T. ft Peterson &
Brothers have made their usual bountiful pro
vision for the Christmas wants of their cus
tomers. Their counters and shelves aro loaded
with an almost endless variety of literary
ware; from the lively, brilliantly-colored little
toy-book for a the wee children, up to the
most tempting standard treasures of the
library.
- In these days authors have so divided and
subdivided the great field of book-making that
every holiday season brings withit a richstore
of gift-books, prepared for each particular
age of childhood and youth, with a degree of
adaptedness quite unknown in our early
days. The counters of the Messrs. Peterson
are covered with these latest productions, and
the searchers after Christmas gifts cannot fail
to satisfy their wants in the reading line, at
lea St, from the varied assortment there pre
sented to them.
The dealers in all kinds of holiday goods are .
manifesting a most enterprising spirit of
rivalry in the way of low prices, and Messrs.
Peterson & Brothers enter so fully into this
business competition that the prices are as,
satisfactory as is their varied and beautiful
stock of goods. - Asa natural consequence of
this attractive combination of a well-chosen
variety of every department of holiday litera
ture with a judicious reduction in price, it
is net to be wondered at that
even.the uninviting state of the weather does
not prevent the large establishment of the
Peterscns being thronged with an animated
and apparently well-pleased crowd of eager
buyers. The book-stores of Philadelphia -are
all undergoing a " revival," and among them
none seems more determined to have and to
hold the patronage of the Christmas public
than the popular house to which we have
alluded.
--
TAE FINE Attire.—Mr. C. F. Haseltine, 11.2.-I
Chestnut street, has a large number of oil
paintings of recent importation, representing
a quality which the collections of other Phila
delphia, experts do not even attempt to ap
ptoach. Mr. HaseUlric's relations with the
great art-publishing house of Croupil & Co.
have given him an advantage in this respect
over all competitors in this city. From the
same ciremnstance it has happened that a
stock of photographs, from the best foreign
paintings has accumulated in the bands of Mr.
Haseltine, not to be found elsewhere ; many
of them being copies taken, not for publica
tion, but for the purpose •of advertising the
scattered branches of the 'house concerning
the latest purchases of pictures and achieve
ments of the great painters Mr. Haseltine is
sole American agent of the famous photo
grapher Adolphe Braun, of Dornacli f whose
collection of many thousand copies after the
old masters is here alone to be seen in its en
tirety. Among these works by Ilrann may be
found the most exquisite views of Swiss
scenery, taken by the indestructible "carbon
process." A select lot of studies of beautiful
Swiss girls in the costumes of various cantons,
most delicately taken and tinted like minia
tures, are of singular interest and are enjoy
ing, great popularity . as holiday wares. Lite
stock alSo inchules all kinds of engravings,
the best chromes, English Water-colors and
art-material, &c.
ON THVIniDAY evening next, Mr. Charles
McShane, the popular superintendent of the
American Hotel restaurant, will give a mag
nificent entertainment to the patrons of that
very excellent establishment He has pre
pared a bill of tare, perusal of which makes
one's mouth water.. It comprises all the luxu
ries and delicacies of the season, such as
chicken and lobster salads,•boned turkeys,and
oysters in various forms. :Mr.' McShane
knows bow to arrange a matter of this kind
just about as well as any other man in the
United States of America, and it may be set
down as a fixed fact that -this' entertainment
will be first class in every respect.
